I used Claude Cowork to build my own AI chief of staff. And you can too.

I'm nicknamed it "The Jarvis Builder"

Every morning at 5 AM, before my alarm goes off, Claude has already triaged my inbox, prepped me for every meeting on my calendar, flagged stale deals in my pipeline and color-coded them, scanned CMS and the Federal Register for policy changes that affect my practice, and pulled the latest literature in orthopedic trauma and clinical AI.

By the time I pour coffee, I have an interactive dashboard with email drafts waiting in gmail, prioritized action items, and source links back to the original threads. I act from the dashboard and claude co-work. No switching between twelve tabs. No thirty-minute prep tax before clinic. Slack messages to my team are drafted. I have a personalized newsletter that pulled headlines I care about for me. And the longer arc of what I am trying to accomplish for the week, the month, and the year are sitting in a pleasant UI/UX that refreshes twice daily called "centering horizons".

The architecture is pretty simple: Claude Cowork scheduled tasks run on a cadence (daily, weekly, monthly). MCP connectors give Claude access to your actual tools — Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Granola meeting transcripts, HubSpot, Brex. You write the prompt once, it can interview you to curate your tasks. It executes on schedule.

I run about twenty tasks across my week, organized around the pillars of my life: clinical, company building, policy, academic, and personal. The personal ones are some of the most useful — a Friday grocery list based on next week's calendar, a travel-day counter that flags when I've been away from home too much, a monthly centering horizons page that maps my short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals into a single visual.

Today I'm releasing the tool I built to make this accessible to anyone:

The Jarvis Builder — an interactive configurator with dozens of scheduled tasks across 7 personas (Essential, CEO, Clinician, Knowledge Worker, Learner, Finance, Policy). Browse the library, preview every prompt, see your week at a glance, run a single Mega Interview that builds your entire personalized system, and export it ready to deploy.

You don't need to be a clinician. You don't need to be technical. If your professional life runs on email, calendar, and cloud tools, you can build your own Jarvis this afternoon.

My new Techy Surgeon article walks through the ssystem — how it works, how I use it, and step-by-step setup instructions so you can build yours. The prompt in my article will interview you and help you create your own system in Claude CoWork. "The Agentic Clinic" dives deeper, but the most important thing is to try to use these tools to leverage software to your benefit. And stay tuned for "Claude for Clinicians"!

Start with this prompt if you’d like and Claude will interview you to curate your tasks.

# The Jarvis Mega Interview — Mini Version

Paste this prompt into Claude Cowork to build your personalized operating system in one conversation.

You are building me a personalized agentic operating system using Claude Cowork scheduled tasks. Conduct a structured interview, then produce a curated task portfolio matched to my actual roles and workflows — plus a personalized Jarvis Command Center dashboard.

START by asking how deep I want to go:
- Express (5 min): Role, tools, schedule, priorities. Get started fast.
- Standard (15 min): Full professional context mapping.
- Comprehensive (30-40 min): Full chief-of-staff intake.

Then interview me across these domains (adapt to chosen depth):

1. IDENTITY & ROLES — What hats do I wear? (Clinician, executive, researcher, investor, parent?)
2. TOOLS & PLATFORMS — What's connected? (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, CRM, Granola, banking?)
3. SCHEDULE & RHYTHMS — What does my week look like? When do I need intelligence delivered?
4. STAKEHOLDERS — Who matters? (Board, investors, team, patients, partners?)
5. ROLE-SPECIFIC CONTEXT — Go deeper on whichever roles apply: clinical workflow, company building, finance/treasury, policy tracking, academic/learning
6. COMMAND CENTER PREFERENCES — What does my ideal morning dashboard look like? Dense or minimal? Dark or light mode? What do I want to see first?

TASK CURATION (important):
After the interview, do NOT recommend every available task. Instead:
- Identify which personas apply: Essential, CEO, Clinician, Knowledge Worker, Healthcare Learner, Finance, Policy
- Recommend ONLY the tasks that match my actual workflow and tools
- For each, explain WHY it's relevant to me specifically
- Call out what you're skipping and why
- Always include the Jarvis Command Center — the daily dashboard that aggregates everything
- Let me confirm or adjust before creating anything

AVAILABLE TASKS (34 across 8 categories):
⭐ Command Center (1): Jarvis Command Center
Essential (3): Email Briefing, Meeting Prep, Evening Debrief
CEO/Executive (4): Deal Pipeline, Competitive Intel, Investor Update, Team Pulse
Clinician (4): Clinical Prep, Literature Surveillance, CME Tracker, Quality Pulse
Knowledge Worker (4): Priority Stack, Project Rollup, Stakeholder Update, Document Queue
Healthcare Learner (5): Concept Card, Academic Crunch, Board Sprint, Journal Club, Teaching Prep
Finance (4): Market Pulse, Financial News Digest, Earnings Tracker, Treasury Review
Policy (4): CMS Radar, FDA Device Intel, Payer Monitor, Policy Briefing

After I confirm my portfolio, generate:
1. second-brain.md — My structured context file with all interview answers
2. Curated task portfolio with personalization notes
3. Jarvis Command Center customized to my preferences
4. All scheduled tasks deployed and ready to run

Present the recommendation as a table:
| Task | Category | Why It's For You | Cadence |

Then ask: "Here's your recommended portfolio of [N] tasks out of 34. Want to adjust before I create them?"
